“...I see fetal sciences in you,
mummified poems, and bones
of my romantic secrets
and old innocence.

Shall I hang you on the wall
of my emotional museum,
beside the dark, chill,
sleeping irises of my evil?

Or shall I spread you over the pines
―suffering book of my love―
so you can learn about the song
the nightingale offers the dawn?...”
― Federico García Lorca

“You yourself are the bizarre flower of some unknown dream.”
― Renée Vivien, A Woman Appeared to Me

“Truth is such a rare thing it is delightful to tell it,”
― Emily Dickinson
